Rarity has had several wonderful dates with gentlemanly stallion Topaz Gleam. But when Topaz implies that he'd like to make their relationship sexual, Rarity isn't sure what to do. She seeks guidance from her friends, but Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and Fluttershy have no experience with stallions, Rainbow Dash is nowhere to be found, and Pinkie Pie can't possibly help with a serious problem like this…right?

The fic is notable for combining Original Flavor dialogue and characterization of the Mane Six with frank and funny discussions of sexuality, without any actual sex scenes.

Hidden Depths: All of the Mane Six, in regards to their sexuality, but especially Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy

Idealized Sex: Thoroughly averted. Rarity knows that sex is more awkward in real life. But she wants it to go well, which is why she's looking for advice in the first place. Sex with Topaz turns out to be even more awkward than Rarity anticipated: Topaz suddenly can't "perform." To save face, he blames Rarity for being too ugly and dumps her. Pinkie Pie helps Rarity get over her disappointment by explaining that the silliness of sex is just part of the fun.
